معرفی
Craig A. Tracy is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of California, Davis. His primary affiliation is with the Department of Mathematics, where he has contributed extensively to mathematical physics, probability, and integrable systems.
His research focuses on random matrix theory, statistical mechanics, and stochastic processes, particularly the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP). He is renowned for co-developing the Tracy-Widom distribution, pivotal in random matrix theory and describing fluctuations in growth models and particle systems.
Tracy's work often intersects with quantum mechanics and nonlinear equations, including studies on Bose and Fermi gases, Ising models, and Painlevé transcendents. His collaborations with Harold Widom have produced foundational results in integrable systems and their applications.
His awards and honors, detailed in 'Awards.pdf', reflect his contributions to mathematical physics. He has advised numerous PhD students, many of whom now contribute to academia and industry. Tracy's research is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and he maintains an active presence in lectures, courses, and publishing.
